Hey.

When I want to send a Pager to everyone thats online, I click the checkbox at the top and it highlights everyone, then I click on Send Pager and it takes me to the box where I enter the message.

The message box stretches so it can fit all members in.

Not great when you have 100+ members online and there is a scrollbar at the bottom so big that it takes forever to scroll through.

Where can I edit the textbox to make it a fixed width?

You will find...

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

a ton of javascript here

<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

I want to put that JS "into" a .js file and include it. This way I don't have a huge knot of javascript at the bottom of the my pages in the source.

Sorry for being unclear, let me know if that made more sense. Thanks for your time and help uae, it is very appreciated.

First of all, very nice product! ;-)

I want to know how can I integrate the buddy list from vB Pager and vBulletin's original buddy list.

My users constantly adds friends to their buddy list nad it won't be nice to make them add all users again.

Thanks!

[Tyegurl]

mine has the option to use buddy list only or not to....so i think it all ready uses the buddy list..

[provedel]

another question...

i looked into product.xml file... and saw that the tables pageroption, pagerpermissions and pagerbuddylist were not created.

did anything get wrong?

the buddy list is enabled for vB Pager, but the vB Pager buddy list doesn't load the vBulletin's buddy list.

is there anything wrong?

[Tyegurl]

well i would say yes....try to upload the files again reinstall and allow overwrite....i had a problem running the pager the first time i installed it.... carefully do the edits and i mean careful....secondly do you have more than one style?make sure the template edits are done on each one....

That is in the pager_mutlipager Template, search for:

 
     <input type="text" class="button" readonly name="users" style="width: 98%" size="40" value="$pagerinfo[pagerusername]">

That is not only in the forumhom, it is attached to the footer template, and I don't think we can have it or call it from a js file, sorry but that will require a lot of modifactions to many places with the hack.

vbulletin's buddy list has its own restriction where a user in your ignore list will not be able to send you a pm, you won't be able to see their posts..etc, I don't know if you want to have someone in your pager ignore list and you don't want to see his/her posts nor get a PM from, it's not that I did not want to integrate both lists, but vbulletin should change the way their buddy list system works.

pageroption, pagerpermissions and pagerbuddylist are not tables, these are fields in the user and usergroup tables!

I have installed ok but when i try to use the pager it says "sorry you are not allowed to use VB pager !"

Help:surprised:
